Street artist Combo has spectacularly gotten back at a graffiti cleaner in Paris by making him the star of his next work.
Combo snapped the cleaner painting over his recently completed piece
featuring a graffiti-ing Huey, Dewey and Louie – so what did he do? He
put up another piece the next day featuring the same cleaner! Gold!

Street artist DS
recently added a couple of paste-ups to a wall in London. It didn’t
take too long before a graffiti removal guy removed the paste-ups.
Shortly after that, DS was back with a paste up of the graffiti removal
guy removing the graffiti. Gold!
Art imitates removal of art!

We often see his art, never see his face but finally get to hear him
speak! Alec Monopoly grew up painting the streets of New York, whether
on billboards or buildings nothing could contain his creativity. He
keeps his identity a secret to ensure his illegal graffiti tagging
persists without consequence. His artistic inspirations stem from
Basquiat and Keith Haring; with his signature being an homage to both
(The E in his signature is the font Basquiat used to use and the action
marks above the C are that of Keith Haring). Whether in the streets or
in galleries; Alec is an ever changing artist who is always thinking
about his next piece.

Last month, supported by Opera Gallery, The London Police were
commissioned to paint a large-scale mural at Villa Bagatelle Miami
Beach during the Art Basel Miami art fair.

The monumental wall was the first street art mural to appear on South Beach.

In
parallel, eight new paintings specially created for the occasion went
on display inside Villa Bagatelle and remained for the whole duration of
the making of mural by Bob and Chaz from The London Police.

Gris1 from the excellent Da Mental Vaporz crew just finished working on this brand new tribute piece entitled "Je Suis Charlie".

The French street artist painted this strong and powerful mural showing a
tank using a green pencil as his weapon. The tank is tagged with a
peace and love sign and the Hebdo writing. Charlie Hebdo
is a French satirical weekly newspaper, featuring cartoons, reports,
polemics, and jokes. On 7 January 2015, three Islamist gunmen opened
fire at the Paris office of Charlie Hebdo, killing twelve, including
staff cartoonists Charb, Cabu, Honoré, Tignous and Wolinski, economist
Bernard Maris and two police officers standing guard at the magazine,
and wounding eleven, four of them seriously.

Continue reading for more images on this artwork and check back with us soon for more mural updates from France.
